Ophthalmology

Optometry & Visual Sciences

This track will highlight the evolving role of optometry in primary eye care and the integration of visual sciences into patient management. Topics will include refractive error management, contact lens innovations, binocular vision disorders, and visual ergonomics. Experts will share insights into visual performance optimization, pediatric optometry, and neuro-optometric rehabilitation. Attendees will explore diagnostic advancements such as wavefront aberrometry, autorefractors, and digital visual field analyzers. The session will also cover scope of practice expansion, interprofessional collaboration, and the role of optometry in public health and preventative care. Workshops will offer practical skills in refraction techniques, lens fitting, and orthoptic exercises. This session is ideal for optometrists, vision scientists, and professionals interested in advancing evidence-based optometric care.
